What’s wrong with a song about Dinah blowing a bunch of horns? That isn’t racism.

I've been working on the railroad
All the live long day
I've been working on the railroad
Just to pass the time away
Can't you hear the whistle blowing
Rise up so early in the morn
Can't you hear the whistle blowing
Dinah, blow your horn

Dinah won't you blow
Dinah won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow your horn
Dinah, won't you blow,
Dinah, won't you blow,
Dinah, won't you blow your horn

Someone's in the kitchen with dinah
Someone's in the kitchen i know
Someone's in the kitchen with dinah
Strumming on the old banjo

Fee fie fiddle eell o
Fee fie fiddle eell o
Fee fie fiddle eell o
Strumming on the old banjo

I heard you guys like to get rid of "racist" traditions in this conference. We thought we solved the issue by just paying a consulting firm $1.1 million to tell us that our fight song isn't racist, but I'm starting to think that was the wrong move.

What was Florida's thought process when they got rid of Gator Bait?
Thats an Austin Texas Liberal thing...Not The SEC

Oh lord, I'll never forget when the tehas band tried to play that song, and the whole MU student section sang "I've been working on the railroad" right over it.

Another tip, "Texas Bite! Texas Bite! Texas jump up and bite my arse! B! I! T! E! A! S! S! Texas jump up and bite my aaaasssss!" was always a favorite when we played the sips.

That "I've been working on the railroad" song you play gets annoying. I don't know about the one you mention here.

How is a song that is sung twice a game annoying?
Have you not heard Boomer Sooner or Rocky Top?


In Tennessee's defense there are at least more than 2 words in Rocky Top.

I'll never forget the first time I asked a Sooner for the real words to their fight song and he said it actually was just "Boomer Sooner!" on repeat, only you change the tone.

A fan of the school in Austin, TX, one of the biggest prog strongholds in the nation, trying to fire shots at anyone about stupid commie values is...interesting.

Wrong

It’s “Texas Fight”.
